Kindle Notes & Highlights
It’s the principle of the thing. If Shae won’t take care of himself, Arthur will do it for him.
His voice is strong as steel, no hint of fragility left, and Arthur’s pulse quickens. He shifts closer, reaches, and when Shae doesn’t pull away, he drapes his arm around the smaller man’s shoulders. “If anyone can do that, it’s you,” Arthur says. Shae melts immediately into the embrace, head tilting onto Arthur’s chest. “Maybe,” he says quietly. “But I can’t do it alone.”
This time, there’s no mystery about their closeness. Arthur pulls, and Shae shamelessly follows, curling up against the larger man. He’s fully enclosed in the heat of Arthur’s arms, the steady thudding of his heartbeat, but there’s no sense of entrapment. This is comfort, not a cage.
